  1. HenryJames posting up before I even knew the article was out. Thanks for the assist.

    Had a really nice visit with DV when he rolled through a few weeks back. And we’re flattered by his comments. Just keeping our heads down and cooking the best food we’re capable of.

    Pretty happy for him with this move. The health dept was doing their damndest to make life difficult in Gtown. This deal in Pville is good for him and gets him back in Travis County.

  3. I’ve owned my own businesses for better than a decade. But no other industry I have experience in has the wild swings in product pricing like this one does. Makes me thankful that sammiches are my leading sellers. Better margins on them

  4. I’m guessing the answer is yes but has there been an overall increase (or at least less dips) in the price of brisket in the last year or two? In prior years I would keep my eye out when the price was $2.99 and even $1.99 a pound but I feel like I haven’t seen those prices in over a year and that Costco price is about the best I see now.
     


    Yes. Wholesale brisket rose from low $2 range to mid $3 range from the beginning of 2017 to mid 2018. Its now back to low $3 range. That’s for upper 2/3 choice. No clue what select is bc I don’t buy it.

    Drought conditions, run on the market bc of new national entrants (Arby’s), other factors. Subway is a massive operation. If they buy up large chunks of the market, the little guys are fuuuuucked.

    Yet retail price of brisket at restaurants has remained largely stable for the past 5 years.

  5. Don’t get too excited. With Subway deciding to join the brisket sammich game we can expect to see an increase in brisket prices. Demand will outpace supply and us bbq guys will take it up the arse so a sub sammich shop can play at bbq.

    I’m gonna stop doing brisket and start doing top round and clod

  6. 10 years ago, Klose was the biggest name in pit building. Those days are over.

    And no need to wait for Aaron’s pits to become available. Millscale.co.

    They build a 94gallon backyard model that may look familiar. And these boys are the best in the game right now.

  7. Stopped by Hays Co on the drive back from SA to Austin today.  Always good.
    I left this on the paper just for Champ

    I admit to low level retardation, but what the fuck am I missing here?
